The Parents of David Pinski |
David Rosenthal
quotes from David Pinski's memoirs as follows:
"One looks for
the beginnings of the artist in his parents to see if there was
something he had inherited. My father, a Moscow Commissioner of
Military Officers' Uniforms and Decorations, was a lover of good
music...Often, on a Sabbath or holiday, he would lead the
services, but that happened only in his own dwelling. In our
rooms in Moscow stood our own Sefer Torah, and on Sabbath and
holidays the Jewish tenants of the vicinity held their own
services. Aside from that, my father at the lectern sought not
only melody but heart, and the congregation praised his
abilities as a prayer-leader." "My mother loved flowers and
plants and our apartment in Mohilev on the Dnieper was a
veritable greenhouse." |
